Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has also contributed a lot to Indian history. His entire life was devoted to the country and Hindutva like his father. From childhood, Sambhaji had solved the political problems of his state and later he became an inspiration for the whole country. Sambhaji is also known as Chhava and Shambhu JI Raje. Sambhaji was born on 14 May 1657 in the fort of Purandar, while on this day he gave up his life in 1689.

Sambhaji Bhosle was the eldest son of Maratha leader Shivaji Maharaj. After the death of his father, Sambhaji became the second ruler of the Maratha kingdom. His mother died when Sambhaji was two years old. After his mother's death, his grandmother Jijabai took care of him. Having grown up under Jijabai's umbrella, Sambhaji had high values and strong intentions. Sambhaji led the Maratha army for the first time in 1672 in the battle of Kolwan. Peshwa Moropant Pingale was also with him in the war. Sambhaji emerged victorious in the Battle of Kolwan. For many years he ruled facing challenges.

He fought many battles with the Mughals Sultanate under his rule. Apart from this, they also fought from Siddi, Mysore, and Portuguese. It is said that Sambhaji had a deep understanding of politics at a very young age. The contribution made for the Maratha region is remembered every year on the birth anniversary of Sambhaji. Sambhaji was assassinated on 11 March 1689. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb thought that the Maratha Empire would cease to exist after his death. But in contrast, the divided Maratha chieftains gathered and started fighting. It is said that this war did not allow Aurangzeb's dream of occupying the Deccan to be fulfilled. Stories of Sambhaji Maharaj's bravery are still found on the tongue of the children of Maharashtra.
